Complex structures adapted to magnetic flows
Abstract
Let be a compact real-analytic manifold, equipped with a real-analytic Riemannian metric and let be a closed real-analytic 2-form on , interpreted as a magnetic field. Consider the Hamiltonian flow on that describes a charged particle moving in the magnetic field . Following an idea of T. Thiemann, we construct a complex structure on a tube inside by pushing forward the vertical polarization by the Hamiltonian flow "evaluated at time ." This complex structure fits together with to give a Kaehler structure on a tube inside . We describe this magnetic complex structure in terms of its -tangent bundle, at the level of holomorphic functions, and via a construction using the embeddings of Whitney-Bruhat and Grauert, which is a magnetic analogue to the analytic continuation of the geometric exponential map. We describe an antiholomorphic intertwiner between this complex structure and the complex structure induced by , and we give two formulas for local Kaehler potentials, which depend on a local choice of vector potential 1-form for . When , our magnetic complex structure is the adapted complex structure of Lempert-Sz\H{o}ke and Guillemin-Stenzel. We compute the magnetic complex structure explicitly for constant magnetic fields on and In the case, the magnetic adapted complex structure for a constant magnetic field is related to work of Kr\"otz-Thangavelu-Xu on heat kernel analysis on the Heisenberg group.
